What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 740 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Most guests love the location and views. The buildings sit in the heart of Waikiki, typically 1–3 blocks from the beach and steps to restaurants, shops, ABC stores, bus lines, and tour pickups. Many units have lanais with sweeping ocean, Diamond Head, and city views—sunrises, sunsets, and Friday fireworks get frequent shout‑outs. Onsite perks like the Pacific Monarch’s rooftop pool, hot tub, sauna, lounge/BBQ, and the Bamboo’s lush courtyard pool create easy off‑beach downtime. Kitchens or kitchenettes plus beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers) make it easy to save on meals and settle into a “home base” routine.

Inside, experiences vary by unit but trend positively. Many guests describe clean, comfortable condos that match photos, with responsive hosts and straightforward self check‑in. Simple touches—well‑stocked basics, strong Wi‑Fi, laundry access on site, and secure keycard entry—add convenience. Space runs from efficient studios to larger 1‑bedrooms and penthouses; several note comfy beds and practical layouts for couples or small families. Overall value for the location is a major theme, with many saying they’d happily return.

Common trade‑offs reflect an older, urban condo‑hotel setting. Expect city noise (sirens, street activity, occasional construction), elevator waits at peak times, and paid, tight parking that’s limited at some buildings. A/C is often a single window unit in the living area and can be noisy or less effective in bedrooms; fans help. As vacation rentals, most units don’t include daily housekeeping—towels and supplies can be limited and you’ll use coin laundry for longer stays. Periodic maintenance (pool or water shutoffs) and mixed front‑desk support for privately managed units also come up. Cleanliness and furnishings are generally good but can vary by unit; if you’re sensitive to noise, want hotel‑style services, or need whisper‑quiet, ultra‑modern finishes, set expectations accordingly.

景色も立地も広さも申し分なく、非常に良かったです途中トラブルもありましたが、オーナーはすぐ対応してくれましたので安心できましたまた、ビーチパラソルやビーチチェアもあり助かりましたThe view, location, and size were all excellent and left nothing to be desired. There was a small issue during our stay, but the owner responded promptly, which gave us peace of mind. We also really appreciated having beach umbrellas and beach chairs available.

Checked out @ 11:00am on 8/24/25.Condo was Great. Thanks again for providing a Keurig coffe maker. The only negative was that it took about 2 hours for the bathtub to drain.

I have stayed in the same building a few times and this place was by far the best one so far. It was very clean, one of the best things was the view. My kids loved sitting out in the lanai. The only con was that there was a noise in the living room, it wasn’t much of an issue for us but if someone was sleeping in the living room you might want ear plugs if you want a good night’s sleep. I understand this is out of the host’s control but I figured I could warn you just in case you’re a light sleeper. Overall, we would stay here again.

The property looked as described in the photos, but there was a cockroach infestation. We had dozens of them come out every night, they were coming out of the cabinets, under the fridge, and by the sinks. We contacted the host about it, but didn’t get a response till 3 days later. We left early and booked a hotel. German cockroaches, and tons of them.

This property was exactly what we needed for our short stay on island to drop off kiddo at UH. Well appointed with amazing views, on site parking (extra charge, but reasonable), convenient to beach, short drive to UH. Hosts were great to work with and quick to respond when contacted. Looking forward to staying again for our next visit.

Had a great stay! Nice ocean view of Waikiki beach with plenty of space for a family of 3. Rooftop pool and spa was a nice break with great views. Very close to the action and restaurants, with great food trucks within a block. Parking on site. Would definitely recommend.

No Wifi access, routers are unplugged, you need to use phone data as next wifi access point is too far to join.Air-Conditioning in main room leaks water onto electrical power board and floor, raised with administration, was told a technician would attend though never turned up. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.Room is a bit below average, overall good size room, nice bathroom and kitchen, nothing to get too excited about. Needs a bit of fixing up.Sofa bed has seen better days, needs a real good clean and new bed base.Overall okay if you want a bit of room and a view, though the lack of A/C and no Wifi makes you look around.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You need to update this unit. It is shoeing it's age, repairs are needed, outdoor furniture is worn out. overall the unit is a disgrace!

My husband and I along with an 18 y/o stayed in this unit for 1 week. Brother in laws family of 5 were in another unit but we were able to gather in ours for dining and watching movies together. Loved the ocean view which would be seen from the main living /dining / kitchen area and also from the bedroom. Kitchen had everything we needed. Made use of the provided beach chair, towels, umbrella boogie board and inflatable floats. Loved that laundry soap was provided as we used the downstairs laundry facility twice during the week. Location is 2 blocks from the beach and there are many dining options close by.

Room matched the description and was clean. I was not impressed by the small window unit used to cool the unit. The air was not on prior to our arrival so it took several hours to cool down. Window tinting or heavy drapes may help with the radiant sun heat, but overall the unit met our needs, just 2 blocks from the beach

Perfect for a 10 day stay. Clean and nicely decorated. Two balconys one facing east and one south to aviod the sun. Nice pool and great hot tub. Close to everything incloding beach, grocery store, buses. Only liability was lack of cable tv. Would stay again

They have car parking area in the building which 35$ per day. The building area in Waikiki you can enjoyed around there. so you don’t have to rental car much of days.

I wanted to make my daughter’s first trip to Honolulu a special one! This apartment overlooks both the city of Waikiki and the ocean. The room was clean and had all the amenities one could ask for on a beach vacation (beach chairs, towels, umbrella, etc). Lani was wonderful to work with, and made the check in process a breeze. I would definitely stay here again.

Looks ok in pictures, but this is poor value. It was quite dirty, with surfaces that were only lightly cleaned. Items of food left in the fridge freezer. Toilet unleaned. Check-in was after the advertised time, so we had to wait in the foyer as they cleaned it late. The cleaners alleged the agent said we were arriving at night. We arrived at 0700. There is nowhere to store luggage if you arrive early, and the agent is unhelpful and has very poor communication. Very noisy with site construction next door. The bed is comfy is the only positive. Stayed 11 days and no change of bed linen. Four towels meant we had to launder towels at our cost. This is extremely poor value and not a dreamy place at all.

The room we stayed in was remarkably spacious, providing ample room to move around comfortably. The host excelled in communication, making it easy to check in and address any questions we had during our stay. Inside the room, there was a portable fan that kept the air circulating, along with a vacuum cleaner and a well-stocked collection of kitchen supplies—such thoughtful touches that created an atmosphere of abundance and convenience.Our bathroom was particularly luxurious, featuring both a bathtub and a shower, as well as two sinks, which made it easy for us to get ready without feeling rushed. We were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of trash bags provided, which was a practical addition that we truly appreciated.One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning views we enjoyed, especially during sunrise and sunset. The colors painted across the sky were simply breathtaking. To add to the convenience, there was a laundry washer and dryer located on the same floor, allowing us to easily manage our laundry without any hassle. Overall, it was a great room that exceeded our expectations in many ways.

We stayed for just a few nights. The condo was nicely located and within walking distance to all the Waikiki attractions. The studio is small, but definitely isn’t lacking in lanai space. Three total balconies. There is a restaurant on site and also many eateries near by. My only concern was the cleanliness of the pool, but that is not in control of the host but the property management.

This condo is just behind Hyatt Regency and has the same view. We had breakfast looking at the Waikiki beach. This property was even better than how it was explained online. AC was strong and bed was so comfortable. Will definitely return when we come back to Waikiki.

Place is cute but the bathroom needs some serious tlc. Missing shower curtain hooks, used shower liner, and dirty shower curtain. Liners need to be replaced after every guest or ran through the wash. Shower curtain also needs to be washed after every guest. Parking is a nightmare and front desk staff is of no help. They only recommend parking garages that are attached to hotels that say guest parking only. Other than that, place is cute and in the heart of Waikiki close to the beach. Nice area

The location was excellent - in walking distance to everything. We didn’t need a car. We used ride share for anything like transportation to the airport. Just two blocks to one of the most famous beaches in the world, where you can share the ocean and views with people who are paying 1,000 a night for the fancy hotels!The Bamboo is a great place to stay if you are not picky. My family and I just wanted a comfortable place to lay our heads, take a shower after the beach, and be able to keep things in the small kitchen they provide. We were happy. Also, the staff at the desk is very friendly. We felt very safe here. There is a lot of street noise, but we had no problem with that. Bring noise canceling headphones if you need to!

We were in Honolulu with our adult daughter to attend the wedding of a niece. We liked the spacious bathroom (2 showers and 2 sinks) and the fact that the main bedroom could be closed off from the living room (hide-a-bed). The kitchen is tiny, but very well appointed.

This is a GREAT location and amazing views. The room is spacious and has the basics you would need for your stay! The bathroom looks a bit old but functions just fine, and there is no AC in the bedroom but a fan, and i just left the bedroom door open. convienent to have the rooftop pool /lounge just one floor up! Waikiki market just down the street. Lani was a pleasure to work with and quick responses as well as allowing for a late checkout!

Location is perfect, view is amazing, check in process easy, communication with owner wonderful. Condo fit our needs perfectly. Air conditioning might not fit some peoples expectations but I found it comfortable and the fan in the bedroom helped during the night. Be sure and check out the storage bench on the lanai before purchasing anything as people, including us, left things for others to enjoy. Same goes for cupboards in the kitchen. Many shopping bags left too if you go to the grocery store like we did. Definitely plan on returning.

My husband and I along with our 2 young adult kids enjoyed our stay at the Pacific Monarch pent house floor 1 bedroom condo mostly for the excellent location, views, balcony/lanai, rooftop pool & rooftop hot tub! It is just 2 blocks walk to Kuhio Beach in Waikiki.We liked having a small kitchenette and also enjoyed how close we were to so many wonderful food options.The front desk staff were pleasant and the common areas were always well kept & clean.We were aware that parking would cost extra at 35/day and budgeted for that. Just be aware to follow the parking rules exactly and note that the parking is very tight.The sofa/futon bed in the living area was not very comfortable for our 2 yound adults so luckily we had brought with us a portable cot and that really saved our stay.Some of the furniture & furnishings are a bit worn but we didnt mind so much as we really loved the views & proximity (very central) to the activities we wanted to do.The bed & linens in the bedroom were comfortable and we appreciated being able to use the 2 beach chairs & beach towels.There is some city & street noise if you leave the windows open for a breeze so during the night we usually chose to use the AC and close the window & patio doors and we slept much better that way. We did not use the TV.Overall we would definetly stay here again!

This unit was very clean and the bed was very comfortable however, we really did not like the music playing until 4 AM every night so needless to say we did not sleep well

The view is beautiful! Great location. Mayu (the host) was extremely responsive and prompt with all issues. Room was not cleaned as well as I expected, but it was a great stay for the price.

The apartment is as described and in a really fantastic location, close to the beach and an abundance of shops / restaurants etc. The balcony was big and a nice place to relax. However, the host emailed me a day prior to check in to ask what time I was checking in the next day. I told him 4pm. We arrived just before 5pm and hadn’t received any check in information. We’d been communicating via email and the check in info was not available on the Vrbo app. I emailed and called to ask for the check in information on arrival, which really should’ve been given before we got there. 10 minutes after we arrived, chance would have it that someone had come to replace the soap and was able to let us in. I never received a response to my email asking for the check in details and wouldn’t have got into the apartment had it not been for the person arriving to leave soap.The lack of communication is absolutely not okay. Thankfully I was with a friend, but usually I’m solo travelling. What if I couldn’t have got in contact or get into the apartment? I never even received a response to my query regarding check in. I would’ve had to find another property to stay in had this guy, who wasn’t the person I’d been communicating with over email, not arrived randomly. If I’d have checked in at 4pm as I’d originally said, I would’ve missed the guy turning up to even let us in. No wi-fi password provided either until the next day.Please ensure this is smoothed out for future guests.
